Our services include:
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas released from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. While Dubuque boasts beautiful river views and rolling hills, its geological makeup increases the likelihood of radon entering buildings—especially basements and slab-on-grade structures common throughout the area.
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S., according to the EPA. Since it has no color, odor, or taste, the only way to know if your Dubuque property has high radon levels is through professional testing.
We use accurate, EPA-recommended testing methods to give you fast, reliable results.
Even newer homes aren’t immune to radon. Once inside, radon can build up to hazardous levels without any visible warning signs. That’s why consistent testing and prompt mitigation are key to maintaining a healthy indoor environment. Here are some common ways radon can enter your home or building:
Small or large cracks in the foundation of your home provide direct entry points for radon to seep in.
Points where different materials meet, such as floor-wall joints or wall-wall joints, can create openings for radon to enter.
Crawl spaces and unfinished basements can allow radon to seep in.
Homes equipped with sump pump pits and service pipes may be vulnerable to radon entry through possible gaps.
Radon can seep in through well water and HVAC systems.
Dubuque is a community that values safety, health, and family, and we do too.
We bring years of experience and a local understanding of Iowa’s soil conditions, housing stock, and climate.
We treat every home and business as if it were our own and always provide transparent pricing, clear communication, and dependable results.
